By The Bay Team Training Swap - with Tips for Tuesday...

So this was my Team Training swap card... which was my favourite of my By The Bay makes... though I have to laugh as I thought I had already shared it here... but apparently not!

So ... it was Quarterly Training last Saturday... and as always - we had a "swap" ie make 12 of the same card for the 12 people present... all swap with each other and so come home with 12 beautiful inspirations for self or displays... many with stamp sets that you don't have -  so you then have samples of other products & ideas to show your customers and inspire oneself...

I realised as I shared my By The Bay makes over the previous weekend (as we did an online Team Sale A Bration Show & Tell kind of thing and I had been allocated/selected By The Bay to use) that not many of the Team had By The Bay... so it was an easy decision!

And some Tips for you if you would like to make this card too... ...

Bermuda Bay Card Blank is 10.5cm x 14cm high (ie A6 card blank chopped down from 14.8 to 14cm high so that the Rectangle shape is one and the same!) or 4 1/8" x 5 1/2" if you are using US Letter cardstock (so you need to chop down from 4 1/4" to 4 1/8" wide)

Shimmery White card panel is 10 x 13.5cm... (US 3 7/8" x 5 1/4")

Most of my ladies found it easier ( for lining things up) to die cut the frame first (with Rectangle Stitched dies) ... then stamp both parts with the stamp (using Staz On Black ink)

I used a mask over the house and little cottage parts...

Watercolouring all done using ink pads and Aquapainter... Sky in Pool Party & Coastal Cabana... Sea in Bermuda Bay... Everything else given a Sahara Sand wash... then details picked out using Gray Granite... paths highlighted with Smoky Slate... and Garden Green used for the foliage... and finished off with a White Signo gel pen (retired by readily available) to re-define the windows

And I nearly gave the game away yesterday... as I was about to share this photo of the "normal sized" card with yesterday's mini make...
